Fifty Years Among the Baptists (p.54) When Baptist historian David Benedict saw the Georgian preacher and church planter Abraham Marshall in the early 1800's, he was growing old in years. Marshall sent a message to his friends in New England. "Tell them that I am yet in the land of the dying, but am bound to the land of the living." When he was questioned on his comment, he explained, "There is no death there, while all things are dying here."
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
